## Chapter 633 – I Won’t Forgive You

“You barbaric bastard, you don’t know your place, running wild!!! How dare you insult me like that!!!!!!!!”
“He’s the one who got his own mom cursed out, and he’s blaming others, you son of a bitch!!!! Did your mom teach you that too!!!!! You live in such comfort, you piece of shit!!!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡWhoosh!

Baron Salberin, screaming like a wild beast, violently drew his magic sword and charged at me.

The provocation had definitely worked.

Those kinds of bastards are always extremely sensitive to insults about their parents. A guy who doesn’t even know he’s a moron couldn’t possibly tolerate someone badmouthing his parents. Judging by the way he called me a barbarian, he’d been looking down on me from the start.

Ah, is that it?

Was he acting so high and mighty because I was a barbarian? Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.

I’d been getting stronger and living comfortably lately, so I’d forgotten that there was a lot of open disdain for the Mirkesha nomads. Even Karin, despite her great strength, hadn’t been able to avoid being sidelined in the Royal Knights.

“You scoundreeeeeeeel!!!!!!! I won’t forgive you!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Anyway, if I’ve made the enemy that hot, I need to become ice cold. If he’s fire, then I’m a glacier, I’m Frost Kim Kat!

ㅡMind Like Still Water!

I need to stay calm to win!!!!

“With a chilled heart, an unstoppable impulsedejaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Anyway, I screamed and charged at him too.

ㅡThwack thwack thwack!

That bastard, he’s obviously seriously strong.

Just as I’d initially thought, he’s definitely a professional serial killer. That’s why he became the captain of the Baron’s guard, and that’s why he’s trusted enough to come duel me.

What’s more, that kind of guy is armed with all sorts of high-end equipment, so I absolutely can’t let him take the initiative. If the conditions are similar, the one who attacks first has a 70% advantage, no matter what.

I have to attack first, no matter what!!

“I’ll kill you for sure!!!!!!! I’ll cut off your head and take it back to the Baron’s family to restore our honor!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Go restore your mom’s virginity!!!!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!”

It was the moment he screamed like a pterodactyl.

ㅡWhoosh!!!!!

“Oh, come on, man!!!!”

In that instant, he swung his sword, and following its trajectory, spheres of flame that flickered with blue light were created and floated up, adorning the sky.

Blue fireballs began to burn in the sky!

That must be the magic enchanted on the magic sword!!!

“Dieeeeeeeeee!!!! Barbarian!!!!!”
“You fucking coward!!! Are you even a swordsman, you son of a bitch!! Just be a magic warrior, you fucking Mirgaon bastard!!!!”

ㅡZhooooom!!!

In an instant, blue beams shot out from the eight flame spheres that had been flickering with blue light. Those are definitely murder beams. But fortunately, they weren’t flying at the speed of light, so I could dodge them, which meant there wasn’t really a problem.

Above all, I have Risha’s artifact, so there’s nothing to worry about.

ㅡWhoosh!

But then he suddenly changed direction and tried to rush me, circling around as if to flank me. Was he planning to distract me with magic and then hit me from the side?

He couldn’t have used that tactic just once or twice. It looked familiar, like he’d had fun with it a few times.

ㅡIgnore the beams.

I turned my body slightly and ran straight at Baron Salberin.

ㅡZhiiiing!

At the same time, the beams, changing direction like guided missiles, chased after me. Indeed, with such overpowered magic, even if you just fired it off haphazardly and hit the side, it would be fatal.

But I’m still ignoring it!
Because I have Risha’s artifact!

“…!”

Ignoring the beams and focusing on him, I saw him looking back and forth between me and the beams. Could it be that he didn’t expect me to run at him? But he didn’t seem flustered. He was a skilled warrior too, after all.

“You fucking orphaned bug, dieeeeeee!!!!”
“You’re the one who should be roasted!!!!!!!”

ㅡHeavenly Demon Advent Steps.

Bang! I kicked off the ground and shot towards him, drawing my sword at the same time. In a single step, I had instantly closed several meters. A sword strike imbued with that kind of energy was bound to be heavy.

ㅡClang!

Blade clashed against blade, sparks flying.

“Ugh…! You barbarian…!”

Of course, he naturally blocked my sword, but he gritted his teeth and took a step back, as if the impact had been considerable. He was being pushed back by my swordsmanship.

I’ve got the initiative!!

ㅡTss tss tss!

In that state, I pushed back his blade, wound it up, and launched a series of attacks. I had to pressure him with my swordsmanship, taught by Karin and honed through intense training!

If you succeed in attacking first against an opponent of similar skill, you can only win by pouring on the attacks like a flood!

ㅡClang!
ㅡClang!

He retreated, steadily blocking my sword. But since I had attacked first, he couldn’t rashly counterattack. It’s quite difficult to counterattack from a defensive position and switch to an offensive one.

This bastard… his skill itself is decent.
I can’t see an opportunity to finish him off easily.

“Not bad for a barbarian…!!”

Should I use sword ki now?

No, I don’t know how complete his sword ki is. There’s no need to use it first to show off… not yet.

“But it’s over, barbarian!!!!”

Suddenly, he shouted as he attempted a counterattack.

“You moron, are you running your mouth because you trust those beams?”
“What did you say!!”

Without panicking, I parried his counterattack and applied pressure.

The moment I lose the initiative, it becomes dangerous. He seems to be trusting that beam magic right now, but that won’t work on me. He doesn’t know that, and he’s just waiting for the beam to hit me.

ㅡZhiiiing!!!

In an instant, the tip of the beam flew towards me, and at the same time, a twisted smile appeared on Baron Salberin’s face. He was overconfident in that magic.

ㅡPachik!

Of course, that was the end of it.

“Wh-what!!!”

Because the black energy that suddenly appeared had extinguished the beam. Risha’s anti-magic artifact had faithfully done its job.

“The Blazing Inferno of the Azure Demon…!!!”

His eyes widened as he barely managed to parry my sword.

“You shameful bastard!! If you’re a warrior, you should settle things with swordsmanship, not rely on magic!!”
“Y-you sneaky bastard…! What trickery did you use, barbarian!!!”
“Heh heh heh! Trickery, my ass!”

I poured on even more aggressive attacks against the clearly flustered guy!

“Your mom’s soul is protecting me!!!”
“Y-you crazy bastard, how dare youuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!”

ㅡWhoosh!!!!

At the same time, azure mana began to surge up from the hilt of Baron Salberin’s sword. He was finally using sword ki!

I’d been waiting for this moment…!

“Real Steel Sword Ki, dejaaaaaaaaat!!!!!”

ㅡPatsutsut!!!!!!

As his sword ki coated the blade, I created my own sword ki as well. ㅡPachik! And so, two blades covered in azure mana drew undulating trajectories, continuously colliding and creating murderous mana sparks.

ㅡClang!
ㅡClang!

Endless sword fighting continued.

ㅡCrack!
ㅡGiiiiik!

Baron Salberin, as befitting his reputation, defended against my attacks even as he retreated, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

But I was already leading this offensive. Without allowing a counterattack, I steadily hammered in attacks and applied pressure until his true colors were revealed.

The moment the Baron’s defense breaks, he will be shattered.

“Ugh…!”

Fortunately, Karin’s sword was amplifying my sword ki, so I had plenty of time. I could use more sword ki than usual even with a small amount of mana.

At this rate, my sword ki endurance is superior!

“Heh heh heh! Your sword ki is nothing special!!”
“Just what is that sword…! That kind of underhanded trick…!”

Is it okay for him to use a magic sword?

“What kind of sword! This is the sword that killed your mom!! That’s why it’s dealing extra damage to you, her son!!!”
“My mother is perfectly alive!!!!!!”
“Bullshit!! I saw her die, where are you lying!!!!”
“W-when did you, that lowly barbarian, see…!”

I took advantage of the Baron’s attempt to make excuses and thrust my sword!

“Dejaaaaaaaaat!!!”

ㅡSchwaaaak!!

“Keuh!”

His ear, failing to parry my thrust, was cleanly sliced off, scattering blood. As I tried to cut off his head, ㅡClang! He threw himself to the side as if diving, performing an evasive maneuver.

“The way you’re running away is just like a rat!!!”

Baron Salberin had a fairly decent level of killing technique, but he tried to play it safe by relying on that magic beam at the beginning, and I took advantage of that gap to launch a bold attack. The fact that he used tricks to win for sure ended up holding him back.

Did he think I’d just stand still if he ran away?

I immediately chased after him and swung my sword.

ㅡThud thud thud!

“Ugh!”

He couldn’t even get up properly, so he kept rolling around, endlessly evading my sword. If I could just stab him in one spot, I’d win!!

“There’s a rumor going around town that your mom is hooking up with Baron Hylen! Go stop her right now! Get up and stop your mother’s affair!!!!”
“N-nonsense!!!”

But looking at him rolling around, I didn’t think I needed to use my sword. I immediately pretended to stab his waist and prepared a kick.

ㅡWhoosh!

The moment he swung his sword in an unstable posture to defend his waist, I aimed my kick at his thigh.

“Not an affair!!!!”
“What!!”

ㅡThwack!

The tip of my greave, wrapped in mana, was embedded in the Baron’s thigh.

“Kuh!!!”

Of course, the Baron was wearing proper armor, so it wouldn’t be a fatal attack.

But I have the Inner Force Amplification Technique.
ㅡRiztina, watch closely.

“You should have blocked my kick!!! You idiot!!”

The moment I unleashed the concentrated inner force,

ㅡKwaaaaaaaang!!!

An explosion occurred, and the Baron’s thigh burst open, armor and all.

“Uoooooooogh!!!!”

Along with the explosion, I used the strength in my legs to kick the Baron’s body up. He screamed miserably as he flew into the sky.

ㅡI won.

“…!”

ㅡShiver shiver shiver!

As I became aware of my victory, intense joy swallowed my brain and vibrated through my entire body. Saliva was about to drip out. I. Kim Kat, had won. I had shattered Baron Salberin’s thigh and kicked him into the sky.

Right now, not only my wives but even Saintess Kadia are watching, and it’s a crushing victory…!

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!”

A scream transcending reason erupted, and ㅡKwaang! Baron Salberin crashed down.

He was screaming and clutching his thigh.

“I-it seems the match is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The announcer shouted, but I ignored him and switched my grip on the sword, approaching the Baron.

“Heh heh heh! Now do you know what you did wrong? Why don’t you apologize to me now?”
“Kuh…! Keuheueueuk!!! The Hylen Baronyyyyyy!!! Will never bow its head to a barbarian!!!”

Baron Salberin, snarling, clumsily swung his sword. His face was distorted with pain, and so the attack was nothing special.

ㅡClang!

“Your thoughts will change when the sword goes in!!”

I easily parried it, knocked away his magic sword, and plunged my sword into his right shoulder.

ㅡThwack!

“Kyaaaaaak…!”

He was wearing seemingly high-end armor, but Karin’s rare metal sword, imbued with sword ki, pierced through his shoulder plate with remarkable ease.

“Mister! You should apologize before your arm gets cut off! For insulting me!”
“Keuheueuk…!”

He let out a low scream and tried to grab my blade with his gauntlet-covered hand to pull it out. But even for a superhuman, it’s impossible to do that in this position with a sword stuck in your shoulder.

“Apologize, Baron Salberin!!!!! Because you have been defeated!!”
“Neverrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I will not give innnnnnnn!!!!!!”

Still, he had some guts, as he stubbornly refused to apologize until the end. What is he, some kind of elementary schooler?

A grown man, completely defeated, is being unreasonable?

This fucking bastard, I was going to give him the utmost honor as a dueling opponent and simply chop him up to end his life, but I can’t do that!

I’ll have to grind him into dust!

“This bastard doesn’t understand until the end!!!”

I twisted the tip of the sword that was stuck in his shoulder. ㅡCrack, the part connecting his shoulder and arm was torn open, and blood splattered.

“Ugh, ugh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!”
“Hey! Bring your mom! Tell your mom to come, you son of a bitch!!”

I need to hear an apology from this bastard’s mom! It’s a sin to raise a kid like this!!!

“Aaaaaaaaaaargh!!! Stop! Stooooooop!!”
“Bring her, you bastard! I can’t talk to you about this!!! I need to talk to your mom who raised you!!! I’ll pay her for her troubles, so call her quickly, you son of a bitch who doesn’t even know who his dad is!!”
“Keuhaaaaaaak!!!”

As I was scolding him and twisting the blade,

ㅡStop that atrocity immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!

A booming voice was heard, and when I looked, an old man who had appeared, scattering the sand of the arena, was glaring at me with a face full of anger.

…Is that the notary, Marquis Lormalza?
